Others, Lord, yes Others, let this my motto be, help me live for Others, that I may live like Thee. Herb Dettmer was named after Staff Sergeant Herbert D. Fish, US Army, a close family friend.

In it, Herb Dettmer shows all readers the value of serving others and of relying upon others for strength and understanding.

This collection will inspire everyone to search for the heroes in themselves and live every day for the noblest purpose of all serving Others.

Chosen Soldier
Author: Dick Couch
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307339394
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
An unprecedented view of Green Beret training, drawn from the year Dick Couch spent at Special Forces training facilities with the Army’s most elite soldiers. In combating terror, America can no longer depend on its conventional military superiority and the use of sophisticated technology. More than ever, we need men like those of the Army Special Forces–the legendary Green Berets. Following the experiences of one class of soldiers as they endure this physically and mentally exhausting ordeal, Couch spells out in fascinating detail the demanding selection process and grueling field exercises, the high-level technical training and intensive language courses, and the simulated battle problems that test everything from how well SF candidates gather operational intelligence to their skills at negotiating with volatile, often hostile, local leaders. Chosen Soldier paints a vivid portrait of an elite group, and a process that forges America’s smartest, most versatile, and most valuable fighting force.
